#taking a town like carentan or cape gloucester. only once there were no fighters in the air was it like. obvious the sacrifice was worth it

i think mota has hammered home how expendable (air)men were in war much more than the other series, from the bomber boys being used as bait for german fighters, to the borderline suicide mission of the red tails who are bluntly told to just 'blend in' if they don't make it back, to constant streams of new recruits and upping the mission counts. they really didn't care if they killed them all.

#i think thats why the earlier guys 'i wouldnt make my men do anything i wouldnt be prepared to do myself' actually kinda hit. because it wa #SO dangerous. pacific kinda did the same but mota its like. you dont really see the effect of what you've done as much as directly #taking a town like carentan or cape gloucester. only once there were no fighters in the air was it like. obvious the sacrifice was worth it #mota meta
